Axel Witsel has finished his contract with Borussia Dortmund and there are many European teams that have tried to hire him.
He seemed to have it done with Olympique de Marseille practically a week ago, but the negotiations have gone awry and other teams better positioned to take over his services have appeared on the horizon; including Atlético de Madrid.
It is curious because the mattress club was already close to signing the Belgian seven years ago. At that time it was an express request from Diego Pablo Simeone, but the player ended up choosing another team due to the massive offers he received in his day.
He is an all-terrain midfielder with a lot of travel capacity in both areas. At 33 years old, he is no longer in the prime of his career, but he is a very valid signing to replace Héctor Herrera.
He has always worked better in defensive systems, which does not prevent him from being a very useful player in the opposite area, especially from set pieces. He would not arrive at Atlético with the starting lineup but as an important rotation player for a season with three competitions.
It is estimated that he could arrive in the Spanish capital today, Monday, to undergo a medical examination and sign his new contract with the mattress club. We will inform you from 90 min.
